At the palace banquet.
An Ning and Xiao Jinxing sat in the most prominent position.
Xiao Luming sat in the first position on the left. Although he was just over four years old, wearing the Crown Prince’s Court Uniform today, he seed quite noble and elegant.
An Ning had a mont where she almost didn’t recognize her own son.
Though Xiao Luming had been serious from a young age, resembling a little adult, his changes after two or three months in the palace exceeded her imagination.
She withdrew her gaze, not wanting to think too much.
After all, all of this was just a montary occurrence.
Part of life experiences.
She lowered her gaze as a palace attendant suddenly presented a large crab.
Everyone attending the palace banquet received one.
An Ning was a bit surprised.
Having been in the Daxuan Kingdom for so long, she had never seen such a creature.
Such creatures had long beco extinct in the apocalypse era, only seen in docuntaries, where it was said they were edible and tasted very delicious.
"This was a tribute sent by Korea a few days ago, extrely fresh in taste, also having the effect of nourishing muscles and invigorating the blood," Xiao Jinxing suddenly explained.
Clearly dealing with the royal relatives, yet he could sense her thoughts imdiately.
"Oh." An Ning responded.
She did want to taste what it was like at so point.
The palace attendants were already kneeling on the ground, helping everyone to peel the crab.
An Ning watched with so seriousness.
Then she saw the palace attendant preparing to throw away the full crab roe.
"Wait." An Ning called out to the palace attendant.
The palace attendant was startled and quickly stopped his actions, being extrely respectful, "Your Majesty."
"Why throw it away?" An Ning asked.
"This is the crab’s excrent, not edible," the palace attendant quickly explained.
"Who said that? This is the essence of the crab." Haven’t seen pig running, but seen pig walking, right!
"But it’s yellow..." The palace attendant cautiously said very little.
"Leave it for ." An Ning ordered.
"...Yes." The palace attendant could only save the crab roe.
The palace attendant started peeling other parts.
Xiao Jinxing’s gaze at this mont was subtly placed on An Ning’s side.
Seeing her leave the crab roe, although slightly surprised, made his own palace attendant leave it too.
After peeling the crab, the palace attendant respectfully stepped back.
An Ning picked up chopsticks, dipped a little sauce, then put it into her mouth.
Indeed, the taste was fantastic.
Xiao Jinxing watched An Ning’s expression, and his mouth couldn’t help but pull into a faint smile.
The attention of others at the palace banquet was now focused on the crab in front of them, so not many noticed Xiao Jinxing and An Ning, except Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan sat relatively far due to her rank, but because Xiao Jinxing and An Ning were conspicuous, she could catch sight of them at once.
She could also imdiately see Xiao Jinxing showing a loving smile towards An Ning.
Bai Mowan secretly clenched her fists.
She was the one who used to enjoy all the gentleness and favor from Xiao Jinxing, and she couldn’t accept that Xiao Jinxing was now treating another woman this way.
And she today, was full of rage.
Enthroning Xiao Luming was invisibly a slap in her face, as everyone in the Daxuan Kingdom once believed that Xiao Yanqi was the Crown Prince. Yet Xiao Yanqi was in the imperial palace for four years without enthronent, while Xiao Luming was crowned after only two to three months in the imperial palace!
How could she swallow this?
Bai Mowan’s face turned extrely unpleasant, shifting her gaze, not wanting to continue watching, fearing she might lose control and do sothing disgraceful.
At the mont she turned her gaze, she saw Xiao Hezhen sitting diagonally opposite, with a flushed face as if she had drunk quite a bit.
Xiao Hezhen couldn’t possibly be like her, unable to see Xiao Luming crowned as the Crown Prince. She naturally knew how good the relationship between Xiao Hezhen and An Ning was, yet why she suddenly had to, drown her sorrows.
It was clear that Xiao Hezhen’s mood was low today, seemingly very lancholy.
Bai Mowan had so thoughts, of course not expressing them, just paying a bit more attention to Xiao Hezhen.
Inside the palace.
An Ning finished eating the crab at and began to eat crab roe.
Xiao Jinxing’s brow furrowed.
He simply couldn’t bear to watch.
He directly turned his gaze away.
Hard to imagine what crab roe would taste like in the mouth.
An Ning was more satisfied eating the crab roe.
Indeed, it was good stuff.
No wonder the huge Korea only sent so little, everyone only got one.
After eating, she looked at Xiao Jinxing, who hadn’t touched the crab at at all.
"Why aren’t you eating?" An Ning asked in astonishnt.
"I don’t like eating these strange things, if the Empress likes it, you may have it," Xiao Jinxing said casually.
"Crabs can’t be eaten too much, they’re cold-natured." An Ning did feel that one wasn’t enough, but also knew moderation.
"Oh, is that so?" Xiao Jinxing responded.
Then he picked up chopsticks, and elegantly began to eat.
The taste was indeed fresh.
Better texture than usual at.
After eating the crab at, Xiao Jinxing planned to put down his chopsticks.
"Why not eat the crab roe?" An Ning asked again.
Xiao Jinxing frowned lightly.
How could he possibly eat the crab’s excrent?
But earlier he thought if An Ning liked it, he would leave it for her.
Thus whatever she wanted to eat, he left it for her.
Little did he know, eating too much crab was harmful.
An Ning obviously saw Xiao Jinxing’s distaste.
Seeing it, anyone would find it distasteful; she glanced around, everyone was throwing away the crab roe.
Simply an extravagant waste.
Xiao Jinxing couldn’t waste it at all.
She said, "Try it, a worldly delicacy."
"...Xiao Jinxing looked at An Ning.
"What’s that expression? Do I seem like soone who likes to eat stool?" An Ning felt awful.
He was looking at her with an expression like she was an idiot.
"This isn’t crab excrent, this is..." An Ning paused.
She thought if she said what crab roe was, Xiao Jinxing would be even less likely to eat it.
"In short, it’s edible, tastes very good." An Ning urged.
"I..."
An Ning directly helped Xiao Jinxing pick up crab roe, "Open up."
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes widened.
"Obey." An Ning was serious.
In this life, only delicious food can’t be let down!
Xiao Jinxing endured.
It seed he had engaged in a long psychological battle before reluctantly opening his mouth.
An Ning placed the crab roe into Xiao Jinxing’s mouth.
Xiao Jinxing seed prepared to et death.
Was this going to kill him?!
Placed in his mouth, Xiao Jinxing didn’t chew for a long ti.
An Ning urged, "Eat."
Only then did Xiao Jinxing slowly, resist for two bites.
From the initial reluctance to slowly softening face then surprise in his eyes.
An Ning smiled.
She knew that such delicious food not eating was simply shaful.
Xiao Jinxing ate.
Praising, "Truly a worldly delicacy. What exactly is this part of the crab?"
Also convinced, certainly not excrent.
"Ovaries." An Ning said frankly.
Xiao Jinxing raised his eyebrows, clearly didn’t quite understand.
"You ate female crab, that is the organ producing eggs."
"..." Xiao Jinxing’s face directly turned green.
Probably made him more lifeless than eating feces!
